The Talstar P in the Mosquito Control Kit - Professional uses the same active ingredient bifenthrin that is in the generic brand Bifen IT. Talstar P is the name brand, Bifen IT is the generic brand. These two products would not be tank mixed together as they are essentially the same product.
The Talstar P, ExciteR and Archer IGR can all be tank mixed together in one tank for a 3 in 1 spray application. Talstar P provides the 21-30 day residual, ExciteR is the contact kill/knockdown and Archer IGR is the insect growth regulator to help stop the growth cycle.
Please view the Mosquito Treatment Guide for more information.
The concentrate products in the Mosquito Control Kit - Professional are rofessional grade. Most Ryobi products state not to use professional grade products in them. We would recommend contacting the manufacturer first.
The Mosquito Control Kit - Professional has 4 different products in the kit. The first is Talstar P which contains Bifenthrin 7.9%, the second is Exciter which contains Piperonyl butoxide 60%, Pyrethrins 6%, the third is Archer IGR which contains Pyriproxyfen 1.3%, and lastly the Altosid Pro-G which contains S-Methoprene 1.5%.
We would recommend our Mosquito Control Kit - Professional. The kit contains products with different active ingredients that target different stages of mosquito development for the most thorough population control.This kit contains two insecticide concentrates, an Insect Growth Regulator, as well as a larvicide so that you can treat both land and standing water. Exciter Insecticide contains natural pyrethrins and Piperonyl Butoxide for a quick knockdown of adult mosquitoes, while Talstar P offers residual protection on mosquito resting areas. Tekko Pro IGR prohibits the development of immature mosquitoes, and Altosid Pro-G is a larvicide to treat standing water or areas likely to flood. Apply spray solution to adult mosquito resting areas, including ornamental plants such as dense brush, tall grasses, and especially the undersides of leaves on trees and bushes. Also treat resting areas on structures such as under eaves or other overhangs, under decks and porches, and in other moist, shady areas where mosquitoes may rest or breed.
Talstar P is also a great residual product for fly control. Please see our Flies Pest Guide for more information.
